I have a question; why would the Unit Manager, the DON, and the ADON come together on a disciplinary issue with a nurse and when asked by the nurse: am i written up, suspended for 3 to 5 days, or terminated?, the response from the DON is: no, your no...

Hello all! I've been sitting here at home with my husband before I go off to work my baylor shift tonight. We were looking at my new favorite show Army Wives and it got me to thinking.......what if I joined the Army? I know that I have been goin...

Hello All, Please tell me that there are independent/self-employed nurses in the Atlanta-metro area! OMG! If you are out there, please reply! I need direction and heck of a lot of direction/guidance to get my independent nurse business off the groun...

Hello Everyone! Ok. I going to put myself "out there" with a problem that I have and I'm sure I'm going to be harshly judged for what I'm about to post; however, I'm doing this because I honestly need some help but most importantly for me, I want the...

This sounds like my facility!

When I first learned pharm, I made my own flash cards. Put the brand name on one side and the generic on the other. You can also put a few drugs names on one side and the drug class on the other. Also learn side effects specific to that drug; don't g...

I initially rented my pharm book from Barnes and Nobles then bought it out right. Last quarter I went to half price books and bought a BRAND NEW PREVIOUS EDITION med surg book for 6.99 and my OB book for 20.00. IN BOTH BOOKS, EVERYTHING WAS THE EXACT...

Hello everyone and happy new year to you all! I recently started a thread on the general discussion page about having difficulty in going to my local cc to begin my bridge to RN due to my being denied student loans and not qualifying for pell grants ...

Let's talk about it. PM me!

Hey everyone! As some of here may know (or not) I was recently in a LPN-RN Bridge program. I decided to withdraw from the program after this past quarter was officially over for a few reasons....mainly because I was way past burned-out and it was af...

Congratulations to you all!

how do/did you detach from being an lpn while in school? I don't know how to do that?

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE RESPONDED TO ME! I'M SO APPREACIATIVE FOR YOUR HELP in trying to keep me from making the same mistakes when I re-enroll in school (hopefully within the next 2-3 months)! I saw something on youtube (I think...lol!) where you ...

I have both an nclex book and the hesi rn comprehensive book. I think for me I have to have a tutor who "knows" the subject. What I mean by that is, you have to be able to "explain" the topic being introduced instead of lecturing from the book. Do yo...

I can too but, I wonder if not revisiting it is causing a problem for me with regard to "knowing" what the question is asking to be able to pick the best answer. There has to be a strategy in answering the questions to pass the tests. I imagine they ...

Exactly. That's what I wanted to know. When I was in LPN school years ago, I did fabulous. This past quarter, I did horrible. I had never until this past quarter, failed a nursing test. It was unbelievable. My m.s. instructor told me that I needed to...

How does the Nursing Foundations class help you answer the questions correctly?

In my opinion, any more, no. The way the tide is turning, everything is RN....mostly BSN. It seems as if the associate degree RN is being held to nursing homes and home health, but not all ADN'S. But, if you feel more comfortable in getting your LPN ...

That sucks for them because I just accepted another ft position at my old job. I've decided that I will no longer fixate on things I can't change. Doing so only prolongs my temporary feelings of rejection and inadequacies as a nurse. Make no mistake...

I interviewed for a position 2 days before new years eve by 2 different managers separately in the same day. They both seemed enthusiastic about wanting to hire me and told me they looked forward to working with me and I expressed the same. I left th...

Has anyone attended the program and worked full time or part time? Was it difficult to manage studying, clinical, classes and work? Please tell me about your experience. I'm thinking about coming home to finish my education.

Me too! LOL!

I know just how you feel. I dropped my med surg class this quarter after never scoring above 70 when passing is 78. I am a practicing LPN and have been for years. I still haven't made sense of my "inability to put it all together" as I was initially ...

Did any of you see THE RED TENT on Lifetime? It is amazing and yet sad. I'm still watching it on my DVR. GOD BLESS THE MIDWIFE, THE LOVING HELPER OF ALL WOMEN.

I didn't even know it was a book! If it wasn't for school, I'd read it! Lol!
